Investigators believe the four broke into five homes since Monday -- mostly through unlocked doors and while the residents were home.

Police said a 46-year-old man was hit in the face when he surprised two of the suspect in his south Lincoln home early Wednesday morning.

Investigators were able to track down Tayler Woods from fingerprints left on a 2005 Honda CRV that was set on fire. The vehicle was stolen from a north central Lincoln home, along with a laptop camera and other items.

Police said video surveillance from the business next to where they dumped the Honda caught the suspects getting into their vehicle after torching the car. Police said Fotopulos has burn marks on his face from the car fire.

Investigators were able to link the three other suspects when they tried to pawn a laptop from a burglary. The pawn shop turned them away and called police.

The sheriff’s office is looking to see if the teens may be involved in two other vehicle thefts.
